PRESSE

Lesley Riddoch, journalist og blogger for the Scotsman og Nordic Horizons skriver: "Kåre stars in a one man exploration of 'Peer Gynt', as you have never seen it before. Inspired by the British Shakespeare Company, this is the first production from the newly founded Norwegian Ibsen Company. Using just one prop and a mixture of monologue and soliloquy Kåre opens up Henrik Ibsen's classic Norwegian tale in English to a whole new audience.

(I've seen this – a brilliant performance and perhaps the first time I both understood the Ibsen play AND the way it reflects Norwegian thinking. But you have to fight to find the room at the venue & he isn't easily found online Fringe site So call 08452601234 for tickets. It is worth it! LR)"

Nancy Napper-Canter, writer for Broadway Baby:

"His obvious enthusiasm for this Norwegian classic makes him the perfect person to relay it; he’s a story-mediator as well as teller. (...) He reminded me of a lecturer - a talented, devoted lecturer, whose passion for his subject is palpable. Conradi’s research is obvious; he’s even been to several of the places where the play is set. It’s not difficult for Conradi to bring this material to life. Much of it, it seems, is his life. 

With his warm voice and friendly demeanour, Conradi creates a nicely intimate atmosphere. (...) Despite his manifest expertise, Conradi’s not pompous with his interpretations. What's more, Conradi doesn’t claim to have all the answers. It’s endearingly low-key, but there are also moments of drama. Frequently running around the stage, Conradi even climbs the lighting rig to emphasize Peer’s heightened emotion as he falls in lust. Energetic and compelling, Conradi’s a natural storyteller."

Et intervju med The Edinburgh Reporter (på engelsk):
"You switch from being the narrator to the character very easily, and it made me think of Eddie Izzard." - Bob Doherty, The Edinburgh Reporter -
